Five Diseases are Easily Suffered in Female Vulva: How to Take Daily Care of Female Vulva

In the current era, many women need to take care of their families and work, often neglecting their own health issues. At the same time, there is also limited care for private parts (i.e. the external genitalia). If female genital care is not good, they are prone to contracting diseases. In addition to itching and burning of the external genitalia in women, they may also suffer from vulvitis. Next, let's take a look at the common diseases and nursing methods of female vulva.

Female vulva is prone to 5 diseases

1. Fungal vulvitis

Vulvitis caused by a type of yeast infection, often coexisting with fungal vaginitis.

2. Acute vulvar ulcer

It is often caused by various reasons of vulvitis, and is generally a manifestation of the pathological process of vulvitis.

3. Sexually transmitted diseases

During the onset of sexually transmitted diseases such as genital warts, soft scabies, genital herpes, and gonorrhea, the external genitalia is often inflamed.

4. Infantile vulvitis

15 days after the birth of a newborn, various miscellaneous bacteria grow in the vagina. In addition, due to the immature development of the external reproductive organs in infants and young children, their ability to resist bacterial infections is poor, and their external genitalia is prone to being soaked in urine, contaminated with feces, and children tend to sit around randomly. These are all easy causes of infection and can cause vulvitis in infants and young children.

5. Urethral meatus polyp

Urethral polyps are tumor like tissues that appear at the female urethral opening, also known as urethral granulomas or vascular polyps. It is commonly seen in women during menopause and is associated with a severe decrease in estrogen levels. Histology can reveal varying degrees of inflammatory cell infiltration, fibrosis, varicose veins, and minimal canceration, which can be classified into three types: papillary tumor type, vascular tumor type, and granulomatous type.

How to take daily care of the female external genitalia?

1. Daily cleaning of the external genitalia

Cleaning frequency: Once a day is sufficient.

Cleaning method: It is best to take a shower and rinse with warm water. If there are no shower conditions, a basin can be used instead, but a dedicated basin must be used.

Cleaning sequence: First clean both hands, then clean the external genitalia from front to back, then clean the labia majora and labia minora, and finally clean the area around and around the anus.

Cleaning solution: Health vaginal products that can be decontaminated and sterilized can be used, but usually water is sufficient.

2. Physiological Day Vulva Care

Sanitary napkins should be replaced frequently, and underwear should be replaced frequently. Wash the external genitalia with clean and warm water every day, with a dedicated basin. Do not use water that has been washed on your face or feet, and do not share a basin of water with several people. In addition, the toilet paper should be wiped from front to back after defecation, avoiding wiping from back to front to avoid bringing dirt into the vagina and causing inflammation.
